SmartBear Software has announced a new version of QAComplete, a flexible software testing management tool for managing requirements, tests and defects in one place.

With this release, SmartBear has overhauled QAComplete’s user experience to further support Agile test management practices. In combination with a new UX, revamped reporting and dashboard helps organizations to customize and present results per their Agile testing practices.

QAComplete 11.0 comes with significant improvements to user experience, including entirely new reporting and fully customizable dashboards. The new reporting engine provides users an ability to customize reports, while allowing QA managers to get a global level view to measure the effectiveness of their testing process as well as traceability across tests, defects and requirements. Further, customizable dashboards, along with custom filters, gives different members, including business users, developers and quality engineers, an ability to present data based on their specific use cases and within the context of the parts of their project. These dashboards can then be saved at the individual level, rather than at the global level, enabling users to keep track of and plan their specific test efforts. The drag and drop functionality of dashboards, combined with specific prepopulated dashboards, makes the process of visualizing data easier.

“SmartBear is fanatically focused on connecting with customers, and with the release of QAComplete 11.0, we have incorporated hundreds of comments collected through our Pre-Code Council, led by customized reporting and dashboards along with enhanced security capabilities,” said Kevin Gillis, VP of Products for Development and Testing at SmartBear. “This release allows QA managers to achieve better traceability throughout the software development cycle by offering granular, role-based access to custom dashboard and reporting, in turn making QAComplete an integrated hub for test design, execution and reporting.”

The new release of QAComplete has additional UX and security improvements, including:

- UI Facelift: The login page and splash screen of QAComplete have been completely revamped. This includes a brand new title bar on the top for easy navigation.

- New Password Security Features: Security administrators can enforce stronger password rules such as a combination of alpha, numeric and non-alphanumeric characters.

QAComplete 11.0 is generally available.
